ADS 300 will be related with the video content of BD-ROM 10 application 40 be provided to DVR100, and have corresponding with the aforementioned Java.policy access control function that is used for using 40 pairs of video contents.Next this access control will be described.

Fig. 4 shows the concept of access control.

As shown in Figure 4, ADS 300 has Java.policy 41, and the condition that the data of a plurality of types of the video content of record on the 40 couples of BD-ROM 10 of application that provided by application server 400 conduct interviews is provided this document.The example of the data of a plurality of types of the video content of record comprises video data, voice data, caption data, metadata and other data on the BD-ROM 10.The example of metadata or other data comprises character data, timeline data harmony rail music data.

Java.policy 41 has many access control informations 42.Each content provider is that each application server 400 limits access control information 42.In other words, each bar access control information 42 comes work as each application server 400 operable API.For example, in Fig. 4, application server A can use access control A and B; Application server B can use access control C and D; Application server C only can use access control A; Application server D only can use access control B; And application server E only can use access control C.

Such as will be described later, after the tabulation of the application that ADS 300 retrieves has been provided to DVR 100, send when using 40 download request at DVR 100, ADS 300 creates Java.policies 41.The Java.policy 41 that creates sends to DVR 100 together with the application 40 of request.DVR 100 carries out the application 40 of downloading based on Java.policy 41.

Then, the operation that description is had DVR 100 and the ADS 300 of aforementioned structure.When reproducing the video content of BD-ROM 10, the DVR 100 of this embodiment can optimize video content based on reproducing environment.In addition, DVR 100 can download the application 40 related with video content and carry out application 40 from ADS 300, thus reproducing video contents in the best condition.Carrying out application 40 o'clock, control uses 40 to visit video content based on Java.policy 41.

Fig. 5 shows the process flow diagram of the optimization process of video content and application 40.In this embodiment, under BD-ROM 10 had been inserted into state among the DVR 100, when CPU 12 carried out the BD-J of BD-ROM 10 records, BD-J was optimized processing.In the following description, the processing mainly carried out of BD-J is identical with the operation of the CPU 12 of DVR 100.

As shown in Figure 5, after BD-ROM 10 is inserted in the insertion portion of DVR 100, CPU 12 make CD drive 9 from BD-ROM 10 read video content and BD-J and among RAM 14, launch they (in step 51).Subsequently, the BD-J that launches in RAM 14 obtains the information about BD-ROM 10, such as content ID and spectators' age limit information (so-called head of a family's lock or classification standard) (in step 52) of video content.Subsequently, BD-J determines whether to obtain information about DVR 100 to optimize the application 40 (in step 53) of video content and associated.Unless BD-ROM 10 just reproduces for specific DVR, otherwise BD-ROM 10 does not comprise the information about DVR 100.Therefore, in step 52, determine that the result shows the information that is necessary to obtain about DVR 100.

When determining that the result shows the information that is necessary to obtain about DVR 100, BD-J obtains necessary informations (in step 54) from DVR 10.The example of necessary information comprises about the information of DVR 100, namely about the information of the specification of DVR 100 (about the information of hardware specification with about the information of software metrics).The example of hardware specification information comprises the capacity of the RAM 14 of DVR 100, the clock frequency of CPU 12 and the network connection speed of communications portion 11.Example about the information of software metrics comprises applicable font, applicable character code, permission/forbid that floating point calculates and the information of applicable API.In addition, necessary information comprises the information of the state that occurs during from BD-ROM 10 reproducing video contents at it about DVR 100.Comprise that about the example of the information of the state of DVR expression is just in the information of backstage recorded announce ripple.In addition, the example of necessary information comprises the past representation of the historical information of video content.

Subsequently, BD-J determines whether to be necessary to obtain information (hereinafter referred to as connection device information) about the external unit that is connected to DVR 100 to carry out aforementioned optimization process (in step 55).The example of external unit comprises TV 200, microphone 21 and camera 22.When externally equipment had been connected to DVR 100, BD-J defined necessary acquisition connection device information (being) and obtains connection device information (in step 56).When not yet connecting external unit, BD-J determines to there is no need to obtain connection device information (no).The example of connection device information comprises type of the input-output apparatus that is connected to DVR 100 and attaching method thereof, about the information of the display performance of display device (TV 200) such as display sizes, effectively number of color and brightness.The example of connection device information also comprises the information about external unit state of appearance when video data reproduces from BD-ROM 10.Comprise about the example of the information of the state of external unit and to show that two TV 200 show the information of data and show that TV 200 is just showing the information of data under the PinP pattern under many display modes.

Subsequently, the BD-J video content (in step 57) of optimizing BD-ROM 10 based on information and the connection device information about specification of the DVR 100 that obtains.This optimization process it is contemplated that into various types of processing.

For example, when BD-J determines that based on connection device information TV 200 has large-scale high brightness indicator, owing to the character information of video content can be recognized, so BD-J control TV 200 modifies dimmed font with the height in the colored font of using DVR 100.In contrast, when BD-J determines that TV 200 uses small-sized low-light level display, owing to the character information of video content can not be recognized, so BD-J control TV 200 uses the highly-visible light tone font of DVR 100.

In addition, BD-J can change based on representation of the historical information the reproducting method of so-called a succession of video content.Next this processing will be described.

Fig. 6 shows the sequence chart of flow process that changes the processing of the method for reproducing a succession of video content based on representation of the historical information.

In Fig. 6, will be described below situation: from BD-ROM 10a reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 1 ", and from the video content " Spider-Man 2 " of BD-ROM 10b reproduction as the sequel of video content " Spider-Man 1 ".

In Fig. 6, the BD-ROM 10a that has recorded video content " Spider-Man 1 " on it comprises the trailer as the pre-review information of video content " Spider-Man 2 ".In contrast, the BD-ROM 10b that has recorded video content " Spider-Man 2 " on it comprises the summary info of video content " Spider-Man 1 ".

In Fig. 6, the content ID of the own video content of each self-contained sign of BD-J of record on BD-ROM 10a and BD-ROM 10b itself or BD-ROM 10a and the BD-ROM 10b.Each BD-ROM among BD-ROM 10a and the 10b or each BD-J among these BD-J can comprise the information of the own BD-ROM 10 of uniquely sign except content ID.As long as content ID can identify particular B D-ROM 10 (video content), content ID does not just rely on the uniqueness of ID system and all BD-ROM 10.In this embodiment, for asking convenient, the ID of sign video content " Spider-Man 1 " specifies with " S001 ", and the ID of sign video content " Spider-Man 2 " specifies with " S002 ".In addition, the BD-J that supposes BD-ROM 10a has recognized the relation between the content ID " S002 " of meaningful ID " S001 " and video content " Spider-Man 2 ".Similarly, the BD-J that supposes BD-ROM 10b has recognized the relation between the content ID " S001 " of meaningful ID " S002 " and video content " Spider-Man 1 ".

At first, will the operation of the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a be described.When BD-ROM 10a was inserted among the DVR 100, the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a checked for reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 1 " essential information (in step 101).The BD-J that supposes BD-ROM 10a comprises following program, and this program has made the trailer of DVR 100 reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 " after the star turn of reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 1 " at DVR 100 when DVR 100 not yet reproduces video content " Spider-Man 2 " as the sequel of video content " Spider-Man 1 ".The BD-J of BD-ROM 10a checks this program and from meaningful ID.

Subsequently, the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a obtains the representation of the historical information (in step 102) as the necessary information that is used for DVR 100.BD-J checks based on the content ID that comprises in the representation of the historical information with from meaningful ID whether DVR 100 has reproduced the video content " Spider-Man 2 " as the sequel of video content " Spider-Man 1 ".

Show DVR 100 not yet during reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 " in definite result, the BD-J of BD-ROM10a makes DVR 100 trailer (in step 103) of reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 " automatically after the star turn of reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 1 ".Even definite result of the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a shows that DVR 100 has reproduced and has looked frequently content " Spider-Man 2 ", if but passed the schedule time afterwards at DVR 100 reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 ", then the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a still makes the trailer of DVR 100 reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 ".The example of scheduled time slot comprises a week, two weeks, one month, but is not limited to this.In addition, the user can customize this scheduled time slot.

At DVR 100 reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 1 " afterwards, the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a will such as information " YYYY:MM:DD:HH:MM:SS:S001 " (show in YYYY MM month DD day during at HH MM divide SS to reproduce content S001 second) store HDD 8 grades (in step 104) of DVR 100 into as representation of the historical information.

Then, will the operation of the BD-J of BD-ROM 10b be described.

When BD-ROM 10b was inserted among the DVR 100, the BD-J of BD-ROM 10b checked for reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 " essential information (in step 111).The BD-J that supposes BD-ROM10b comprises following program, if DVR 100 has reproduced the video content " Spider-Man 1 " as the front piece of writing of video content " Spider-Man 2 ", then this program makes DVR 100 omits the summary info of video content " Spider-Man 1 " when the star turn of beginning reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 " reproduction.The BD-J of BD-ROM 10b checks this program and from meaningful ID.

Subsequently, the BD-J of BD-ROM 10b obtains the representation of the historical information (in step 112) as the necessary information that is used for DVR 100.BD-J checks based on the content ID that comprises in the representation of the historical information with from meaningful ID whether DVR 100 has reproduced the video content " Spider-Man 1 " as the front piece of writing of video content " Spider-Man 2 ".

When definite result shows that DVR 100 has reproduced video content " Spider-Man 1 ", the reproduction (in step 113) that the BD-J of BD-ROM 10b makes DVR 10 omit the summary info of video content " Spider-Man 1 " when the star turn of beginning reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 ".

Get back to Fig. 5, the information about BD-ROM that BD-J combination obtains, about information and the connection device information of specification, and generate reproducing environment information (in step 58).Subsequently, BD-J sends to ADS 300 (in step 59) with the reproducing environment message of generation with from meaningful ID.

ADS 300 retrieves the application related with the video content of BD-ROM 10 based on reproducing environment information with content ID, and makes DVR 100 come down load application according to the request from the BD-J of DVR 100.Fig. 7 shows the process flow diagram of the download process of ADS 300.Next with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 7 the download process to using of being undertaken by DVR 100 is described.

As shown in Figure 7, the CPU 31 of ADS 300 receives content ID and reproducing environment information (in step 71) from DVR 100.Subsequently, CPU 31 is from the application (in step 72) of application server 400 retrievals with content ID coupling.

Subsequently, CPU 31 determines whether the application that retrieves is suitable for reproducing environment information (in step 73).For example, when reproducing environment information comprised spectators' age limit information, CPU 31 got rid of and the unmatched application of spectators' age limit information.When reproducing environment information comprised connection device information, CPU 31 can be by the application of the external unit execution that is connected to DVR 100 or TV 200 from application server 400 retrievals.

Subsequently, CPU 31 obtains it from application server 400 and has determined to be suitable for the application (in step 74) of reproducing environment, creates the tabulation (in step 75) of using, and tabulation is sent to DVR100 (in step 76).

As shown in Figure 5, the BD-J of DVR 100 receives list of application (in step 60) from ADS 300.BD-J makes video control section 16 create the suitable graphical user interface (GUI) of expression list of applications, and with list of application output to GUI that TV 200 created to pass through show it (in step 61).

Subsequently, BD-J from operation input section 15 receive users be used for selecting the operation input of at least one application of the application on the list of application time, BD-J will send to the download request of selected one or more application ADS 300 (in step 62).

As shown in Figure 7, the CPU 31 of ADS 300 is from the download request (in step 77) of DVR 100 receptions to using.Subsequently, CPU 31 creates Java.policies, and the video content (in step 78) of one or more application access BD-ROM 10 of downloading has been asked in this Java.policy restriction.When a plurality of application that has request to download, create Java.policy by being combined into to the access control of a plurality of application a file.One or more application that CPU 31 will ask to download sends to DVR 100 (in step 79) together with Java.policy.

As shown in Figure 5, the BD-J of DVR 100 receives described one or more application and Java.policy (in step 63) from ADS 300.Subsequently, BD-J carries out described one or more application (in step 64) based on Java.policy in the video content that reproduces BD-ROM 10.Owing to the access control of carrying out based on Java.policy described one or more application, control and revise video content so prevent described one or more application with content provider and unexpected mode.

Can depend on that application server 400 imaginations can be from the various application of ADS 300 downloads.Purport based on the access control of Java.policy is decided on using.

For example, BD-J can allow the only open access to necessary information of institute's down load application based on Java.policy.For example, when using application server 400 in tourist corporation, it can provide following application, and this application allows the user to apply for going sight-seeing the tourism in the place that is publicized by video content.This application will be relevant with timeline information about the information of the scene setting of video content.In other words, this application can be worked when it only can access timeline information in various types of video content data.Therefore, when BD-J carried out this application, for example Java.policy permission BD-J accessed the timeline information in various types of video content data, and limited its accessing video and voice data based on Java.policy.

When game establishment company used application server 400, the game that it can provide the rhythm according to the music data of video content to play an instrument was used.This application can come work by only accessing the specific music data.Therefore, when BD-J carries out this application, can only allow it to access music data in various types of video content data based on Java.policy.When BD-ROM 10 comprised music-book information, BD-J can make application only access music-book information and be game establishment music score.When BD-ROM 10 did not comprise music-book information, BD-J can download music-book information from application server 400 or ADS300.In addition, BD-J can allow to play the application access music data, but do not allow its to change reproduction speed (fascination the other side's play is such as F.F.) and reproduction ratio.

When spectators' age limit had been applied on the video content based on Java.policy, BD-J can be applied to spectators' age limit in the application.For example, when using application server 400 in video/music/books sales company, it can provide the application of the video, sound rail and the books that allow user's on-line purchase related with video content.In this case, when video content had been classified to R18 (being restricted at under-18s), BD-J can make to use and get rid of adult's content from the sales list of video/books.

In addition, BD-J can forbid the main video data of video content and use coexistence based on Java.policy, be revised by secondary to prevent main video data.For example, when using application server 400 in garment marketing company, it can provide following application, and this application allows the user to buy the clothes of the people's dress in the video content.In this case, BD-J can make application not cover clothes with main video data and order screen.Replace, cover the order screen although BD-J makes to use with main video data, BD-J can make main video data suspend.BD-J can replace based on Java.policy and specify such as upper/lower positions or time, BD-J in this position or this time chien shih use to cover with main video data and order screen.For example, BD-J can make the people that do not cover in the zone of the face that is applied in the particular person in the main video data in the main video data and the personage's that has nothing to do with these people image based on Java.policy.

In addition, BD-J can make based on Java.policy and be applied as various types of video content data assigns access periods.For example, BD-J can forbid being applied in the various types of video content data of access in issue BD-ROM 10 scheduled time slot afterwards.

In addition, BD-J can limit scope and territory (URL) that can carry out application based on Java.policy.For example, application server 400 can provide following application, and this application allows the user to buy the song related with video content by the music delivery service.When this service was provided in the whole world, the application server 400 that BD-J may be limited to the place setting outside the Japan provided this application.Therefore, even the copyright scope is different in the genealogy of law of various countries, still can control fully application.

In addition, application server 400 can provide according to the purport of video content English study to use.English study is used with AV and is chatted to carry out long-distance phonetic study.This is applied in when DVR 100 has microphone 21 and camera 22 and becomes and can carry out.Next download this application and carry out it describes DVR 100 and ADS 300 in detail as example processing take DVR 100.Fig. 8 shows the sequence chart of these processing.

In Fig. 8, suppose to have aforementioned ID[S002] video content " Spider-Man 2 " be recorded on the BD-ROM 10.In addition, ADS 300 has identified ID[S002].In addition, microphone 21 and camera 22 have been connected to DVR 100 as external unit.

As shown in Figure 8, when BD-ROM 10 was inserted among the DVR 100, BD-J checked the necessary information (in step 81) in order to reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 ".In this embodiment, suppose that BD-J has following program, this program can obtain information about the external unit that is connected to DVR 100 with reproducing video contents.Therefore, BD-J obtains described program and from meaningful ID.

Subsequently, BD-J obtains (in step 82) such as information, representation of the historical information about specification from DVR 100.In addition, BD-J obtains connection device information (in step 83 and 84) from external unit such as TV 200, microphone 21 and the camera 22 that is connected to DVR 100.Therefore, BD-J identifies and has connected microphone 21 and camera 22 as external unit.

Subsequently, BD-J combination is about the information of BD-ROM, about information and the connection device information of 100 the specification of DVR, and generates reproducing environment information 65.Subsequently, but BD-J makes the DVR 100 will be to the request of the tabulation of down load application together with reproducing environment information 65 and content ID[S002] send to ADS 300 (in step 85 and 86).

Fig. 9 A shows the schematic diagram of the example of reproducing environment information 65.As shown in Fig. 9 A, reproducing environment information 65 is for example described with XML, and comprises information about BD-ROM 10 (＜media 〉) and about the information of DVR 100 and connection device (＜player 〉).

Subsequently, the ADS 300 that has received reproducing environment information and content ID retrieves the application (in step 87) of satisfying the necessary environment that is used for video content " Spider-Man 2 " based on the information of these kinds.Subsequently, ADS 300 generates list of application 66 based on the result who retrieves, and list of application 66 is sent to DVR 100.In this case, list of application 66 comprises " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study is used " this application.

Fig. 9 B shows the schematic diagram of the example of list of application 66.As shown in Fig. 9 B, list of application 66 is for example described with XML.List of application 66 comprises the information about various types of application, and these application also comprise conduct＜item except comprising the application for online shopping, trailer etc.〉aforementioned " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study use ".

Subsequently, when BD-J received list of application, BD-J created the suitable GUI (in step 88) of expression list of application, and demonstration request that will display application tabulation on TV 200 sends to DVR100 (in step 89).The CPU 12 of DVR 100 is according to showing that request makes TV 200 display application tabulation (in step 90) on TV 200.

Subsequently, when selecting " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study is used " at operation input section 15, BD-J will send to ADS 300 (in step 91) to the download request of using by DVR 100.ADS 300 creates the Java.policy 67 corresponding with " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study is used ", and it is sent to ADS 300 (in step 92) together with using.

Fig. 9 C shows the schematic diagram of the example of Java.policy 67.Java.policy 67 is also for example described with XML.In this example, Java.policy allows application access timeline data and caption data and the partial data corresponding with the schedule time line of video data.In addition, Java.policy forbids that application access comprises the metadata of predetermined words.

When BD-J downloaded " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study is used " and Java.policy from ADS 300, BD-J was with the data binding of the video content " Spider-Man 2 " of they and BD-Rom 10.Create the language learning material with " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study is used " of the data binding of video content " Spider-Man 2 " from video content " Spider-Man 2 ", and allow the user to chat the distance learning language by microphone 21 and the camera 22 usefulness AV that connect.

Figure 10 shows the schematic diagram of the example of the screen that shows at TV 200 in execution " Spider-Man 2 English dialogue study is used ".As shown in Figure 10, this application photopic vision dialogue phrase of mutually talking of the people the special scenes of content " Spider-Man 2 " frequently from the angle of English dialogue study.In addition, Java.policy forbids that application access is not used to the video data and the metadata that comprises and be not suitable for the words of English dialogue study of the scene of English dialogue study.

Then, with describing the method for making as CD such as the aforementioned BD-ROM 10 of following recording medium, the data that DVR 100 can reproduce have been recorded at this recording medium.Figure 11 and Figure 12 are the schematic diagram that the method for such CD is made in explanation.

As shown in Figure 11, the stamper of preparation example as being made by glass.Apply the recording materials of for example being made by photoresist at stamper.As a result, obtain the record stamper.

Subsequently, as shown in Figure 12, in the software creation processing section, the video data that temporary transient storage can be reproduced by encoding device (video encoder) coding and DVR 100 in buffer.In addition, the voice data that temporary transient storage is encoded by audio coder in buffer.In addition, the non-stream data (such as index, playlist, broadcast item etc.) that temporary transient storage is encoded by data encoder in buffer.Multiplexing equipment (MPX) carries out video data, voice data and the non-stream data of storing in the respective cache device multiplexed together with synchronizing signal, then error correcting code coding circuit (ECC) adds error correcting code to multiplexed data.Resulting data are modulated according to the predetermined modulation standard by modulation circuit (MOD), and according to predetermined format placeholder record on tape for example.Subsequently, can be by the CD of DVR 100 reproductions such as the software of BD-ROM 10 records as aforementioned BD-J and so in its data.

Where necessary, editor's (stamper is prefabricated) software, and to be used for the record format generation signal of CD.As shown in Figure 11, come modulating lasering beam corresponding to tracer signal, and laser beam irradiation is fallen on the photoresist on the stamper.As a result, corresponding to expose photoresist on the stamper of tracer signal.

Subsequently, stamper is developed, and form depression at stamper.The resulting stamper of electroforming, and the depression on the glass master is transferred on the metal negative.Utilize metal negative that metal stamping and pressing is made as mould.

Material such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) or polycarbonate (PC) be injected in the mould and to it harden.Replace, after metal stamping and pressing applies ultraviolet curable resin (photopolymer) etc., can be by the ultraviolet light irradiation be come cured resin thereon.Therefore, the depression in the metal stamping and pressing is transferred on the duplicate that is formed from a resin.

Form reflectance coating by evaporation, sputter etc. at duplicate.Replace by being spin-coated on and form reflectance coating on the duplicate.

Subsequently, carry out necessary the processing, such as internal diameter and external diameter and bonding two dishes of processing dish.Subsequently, adhesive label on the front surface of dish, and assemble jack (hub) at dish.Subsequently, dish is inserted in the box.Obtained by this way to record on it CD of the data that DVR 100 can reproduce.Certainly, can not assemble jack at CD.In addition, CD can be the naked dish in the box of not packing into.

As mentioned above, according to this embodiment, BD-J obtains to go up to optimize BD-ROM according to reproducing environment about the information of DVR 100 and external unit the video content of record.In addition, BD-J from ADS 300 down load application and Java.policy under for the optimum condition of video content, to carry out the application related with video content.

In the aforementioned embodiment, after the BD-J of DVR 100 downloaded Java.policy from ADS 300 and uses, BD-J can download Java.policy when carrying out application.In this case, though received use after execution before it ADS 300 rewritten Java.policy, BD-J still can suitably carry out application.In other words, BD-J can carry out using the access control of accessing video content fully based on up-to-date Java.policy.In addition, if the purport of the Java.policy of originally having downloaded is different from the purport of the file of again downloading, then BD-J can be by suitable GUI to the user notification this point to obtain carrying out the permission of up-to-date Java.policy from he or she.

In the aforementioned embodiment, as an example, TV 200, microphone 21 and camera 22 are connected to DVR 100 as external unit.It should be noted that external unit is not limited to them.For example, BD-J can optimize video content and carry out best applications based on the type of the telepilot that is connected to DVR 100.Recognize when having connected rifle type or pedal-type telepilot at BD-J, BD-J will send to ADS 300 as connection device information about the information as this telepilot.ADS 300 retrieves the manipulable application of telepilots such as game, and will comprise that the list of application 66 of such application sends to ADS 300.

In the aforementioned embodiment, as an example, the BD-ROM10b that is used for video content " Spider-Man 2 " comprises the summary info of video content " Spider-Man 1 ", and comprises the trailer of video content " Spider-Man 2 " for the BD-ROM 10a of video content " Spider-Man 1 ".Yet if BD-ROM10a and 10b do not comprise summary info and trailer, each BD-J can download summary info and the trailer that retrieves as application from ADS 300.In this case, ADS 300 content-based ID and representation of the historical information determine whether to comprise in the list of application summary info and trailer (perhaps allowing the user to buy the application of summary info and trailer).In other words, determine DVR 100 not yet during reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 2 " at ADS 300 based on the representation of the historical information that receives from the BD-J of BD-ROM 10a, ADS 300 is contained in the list of application trailer.In contrast, ADS 300 determine based on the representation of the historical information that receives from the BD-J of BD-ROM 10b DVR100 not yet reproducing video contents " Spider-Man 1 " or reproducing after when having pass by the permanent time, ADS 300 is contained in the list of application summary info.In this case, DVR 100 downloads summary info and trailer and automatically or according to user's operation carry out application as using together with Java.policy.
